Rooting is possible or Not??

[#1]

I wish to root my SE Live With Walkman. As I am novice, so I dont risk to unlock bootloader or flashing a new custom ROM. I root my phone as I  want to get rid of Bloatwares. Please tell me whether it is possible to ROOT my SE LWW?

Sony would really standout as the best smartphone option then if they removed those crazy restrictions.

if you think about it, if sony allow users to keep their warranty even if they unlock their bootloader then if a user messes up his phone by flashing another custom ROM or delete something then they will have to fix it, which I don't think its fair for sony, if you unlock your bootloader you could destroy your android, literally destroy your Android.

Sony could easily just reimage the phone back to original state. I don't think it would be fair for sony to recover personal stuff under the warrenty.

that's if you don't harm the phone first. unlocking the bootloader it's a huge risk if the user doesn't know much about android/programing

Well they should change the way they have things setup. If you buy a pc there's no risk in making a full ghost image backup of your entire operating system. You don't have to go through some crazy risky void warrenty process.

the only phones that I'm aware that can do this, are the Nexus devices, since they are consider developer phones.
